How to Paint Pink Roses in Two Hours. My deepest apologies for having taken so long to post to this blog again. I've been touring the Mediterranean and before that summer had me in high gear for the festival season. But winter is here again - nearly, and so I'm back to my routine of publishing regularly. Here's the set up. I kep...

How to paint Orchids and Tapestry. In fact, it's so long, I've opted to put it on my website so that I could organize it better for you and make it go faster for myself. It still took me three hours to put it all together, so cut me some slack. The painting took about four weeks. Here's the finished piece, now just.

How to paint an Asian Tea Pot and Peaches. Here's the set up. I ended up changing a few things once I began the layin. I love to paint lace and it's always a challenge to make it come out right. I nearly always have to remind myself to take my time on it. I'm always glad when I do. With how I wanted the brush strokes to go. That's on...

How to Paint a Magnolia Spray. Thanks to Facebook, I've recently been connecting with old friends and one of my teenage buddies just commissioned a small painting from me. So I thought that I might as well kick off a lesson while I painted. This time I remembered to set my timer so I could take photos at regular intervals. At thi...

ACEOs – “Chloe” and “Looking Out” | PS Bledsoe Art
https://psbledsoeart.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/aceos-chloe-and-looking-out
Dog 96 – Toby →. ACEOs – “Chloe” and “Looking Out”. March 6, 2014. Received many wonderful photos from friends yesterday, so I have so much fun ahead! I especially loved the bulldog photos sent to me by Ann. I think I have to paint every one before I move on to larger cat paintings. So yesterday, I painted Chloe as an ACEO, and made good progress on her as a 5×7. I painted the kitty this evening, reference photo courtesy of Asinensis. Lots of painting going on in this house! Dog 96 – Toby →. Join 17 othe...

Newer posts →. Dog 85, Beau – again, and now complete. February 3, 2014. Turns out Nina didn’t think the original nose was too prominent, but too flat. And my other teacher Marianne, said the rework had the “chuckles”, meaning the brushstokes circled around the nose. I listen to my art friends! They were both right. I fixed the issues, and I am not going to offer Beau again for critique:) I want to be done, and I love it, so there ya go. Reference photo by Sally Wehner. Dog 87 – SquishFace. My friend wan...

Dog 100 – Cayman. June 13, 2014. I painted my friend’s kitty Chianna in the past few weeks. This one went well, not too much rework and I got the whiskers in without making a mess of everything. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Dog 100 – Cayman. June 13, 2014 at 5:03 pm. Nice, Pam…what’s the size on this one? June 14, 2014 at 6:04 am. Thanks Marianne, it’s 5 x 7, my usual small size. Hope to make it to your show that’s coming up. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Drawing, Watercolor, Still Life, Plein Air, Dogs, Cats, ACEOs, etc etc etc. Stella and Huey – ACEOs →. Dogs 97 and 98 – Chloe and Chloe Lounging. May 10, 2014. I decided to post dogs 97 and 98 today, painted a few months ago. This is adorable bulldog Chloe, standing and lounging. They were difficult compositions for me to do. The photos were so cute, and I feel I didn’t do them justice. Always more to learn, isn’t there? Thanks to Ann G for the photos! This entry was posted in Uncategorized.
